The second book in the gothic horror phenomenon.
Perdido, Alabama, has scarcely recovered from the floods that devasted the community. Now a scheme to build a levee is dogged by a series of mysterious events: unpredictable currents in the river, worrying disappearances. Meanwhile in the Caskey family, Marie-Love, the matriarch, continues her machinations against Elinor, her strange daughter in law.
Plots, unholy alliances, sacrifices in the struggle between them, nothing is off limits. In Perdido, the changes will be profound; the consequences irreversible.
